Slow progress as Ive been in a bit of a slump but my little guy can shoot now. I hoped I could get away with not showing projectiles bc of the performance cost but I dont think this sells the effect. Anybody got any ideas for ways I can add juice without more sprites?

Accessibility question for PC games -
What I'm working on right now will have the mouse as the only means of interacting with the game (nothing very precise). Are there accessibility concerns with that? If so, what alternatives can I consider?

Just watched the Thronglets ep of Black Mirror again and it's pretty crazy. If that was a real game, what's the first goofy/weird/useful thing you would want to do with your throng? 🤔 Asking for no particular reason... #BlackMirror #Thronglets #indiegames

Wow is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 good. Definitely not something I'd usually go for but I'm so glad I did - absolutely incredible atmosphere, voice work, animation, VFX, music and narrative plus it plays like butter. What a debut.

This is going to sound crazy but I started drinking these hot shot juice shot things with cayenne pepper and now I think I really like spicy drinks? Are spicy drinks a thing?

Tried my hand at some pixelart for a virtual pet game I'm working on. What do you think?
The game is called "Forbidden Friend" and has you nurturing an eldritch god and its cult. This is one of the cultists

Such a good response to the hate this game is getting. I'd probably go even further to say, even if Yasuke wasn't a historical figure...who cares? It's a story. Nobody whines that star wars has spaceships and aliens. The whole point of a story is to do something interesting
